From My Journal Class...

Here it is almost the end of the month and I haven't been a good blogger AGAIN!! I have good intentions but my follow-through is not so good. I even wonder if there's anyone out there who still reads my blog!

As you know I'm teaching an art journaling class at the local senior center. I usually have about 10 - 12 people each week...sometimes less, sometimes not. It's a good group of men and women and we always have fun. One of my students did such a good page last week that I wanted to share it here with you.

This page was done by Lee Ann and I have her permission to show it. She collaged the flowery background and then drew on the wrought iron gate! It's beautiful and I wish you could see it in real life. She was inspired by the gate below...

She took this photo in her neighborhood and then did her drawing over the collage. I think she did an excellent job and I'm so proud of her. Everyone in my class is doing great. I just usually forget to take photos of their work.

This is what my studio looks like right now...a complete mess!

Since we use so many magazine images in my class (I try to keep supplies to a minimum and we have lots of magazines at the center) I always seem to have stacks of them everywhere on my work table.

Okay, that's about all from here. Today is yard work with HB. And then I have to get things ready for my class tomorrow. Yikes...where does the time go!!

Your studio is beautiful with all that art on the lovely-colored walls and the great big table to work on. Love it! The painting of the woman...second from the left...I find myself thinking about that piece quite often. It's really so beautiful.

Thanks for taking the time to visit me and for leaving a comment. I appreciate each and every comment and will answer any questions via email. Otherwise I will respond to your comments with comments of my own on your blog. I love the blogging community!!
